Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large pot or Dutch oven over high heat, brown the ground beef. Drain off any excess fat. (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Add the chopped turkey bacon to the pot and cook until slightly crispy. (3 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Pour in the beef broth, condensed bean with bacon soup, water, and tomato sauce. Stir in the dried basil and oregano. (2 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (10 minutes)

05

25 mins

Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the pot. Simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. (20-30 minutes)

10 mins

Stir in the egg noodles and simmer uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Serve hot with a side of warmed focaccia or French bread for dipping.

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade beef broth.
Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, spinach, or kale.
A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top adds a delightful salty and savory finish.
This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop.

    I added some diced tomatoes and a bay leaf for extra flavor. It was a hit!

  • Mya Gottlieb

    I made this in my slow cooker, and it turned out great. I just browned the meat and bacon first, then added everything to the slow cooker and cooked it on low for 6 hours.
